About This Game

Two siblings are whisked away during a mysterious ritual and trapped in a spirit world. To return home, they must unlock the six domains of Blood, Dream, Plague, Hex, Shadow, and Time, while uncovering the truth behind the Shadowrite. Somewhere in The Crossroads, a grimoire holds the secret to going home.

  • The liveliest town you've seen, except that everyone in it happens to be dead.

  • NPCs follow daily schedules. Shops open and close, residents wander between home, work, and the inn, and the town changes with the clock.

  • Build relationships through your choices to uncover secrets and puzzles hidden across The Crossroads

  • Battle corrupted spirits in combat where hesitation costs you the fight.

  • Swap your entire party's job compositions mid-battle using Weave Shifts. Go offensive for burst damage, defensive to weather a big hit, or switch to healing in a pinch.

  • Weapons level up through combat, unlocking new spirit skills at milestones. Every skill you discover is added to your Grimoire, a collection of your growing understanding of the afterlife.

  • No quest markers. No waypoints. Just a logbook and your instincts.

  • Piece together solutions by talking to NPCs, reading signs, and paying attention to who's awake and who's asleep.

  • The answer is always in the world. You just have to look.

  • Handcrafted dungeons with branching paths, hidden loot, and bosses whose defeat reshapes the town.

  • Dungeon progress unlocks new town events, NPC quests, shop inventory, and story revelations. The town and the mausoleums feed each other.

  • Craft hot chocolates at Chokola's Cradle for buffs, or take a debuff for double battle rewards. Risk and reward await you at every corner.

  • Switch your party leader's job outside combat to unlock unique abilities. Pickpocket unsuspecting spirits as the Bloodfiend. Fight the nightmares of sleeping NPCs as the Dreamweaver. Bless gravestones and sacred objects as a Plaguedoctor.

  • Each ability opens new interactions, quest paths, and secrets.
